I am laying on the couch not feeling good and you popped up . Oh yippee! Andys back! Thank You God ! this is exactly what I needed .Love the table music and that brander and you of course. Thankyou my friend for doing what you do.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, you are so so welcome, Jackie....and thank YOU so much!! I'm so sorry you weren't/aren't feeling great - hoping you are on the mend soon. 😊💗🙏

[@kelly3560]

Yey to trusting the process. Beautifully done.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Many thanks, Kelly! 😊💙🙏

[@uraniamelendez1351]

Love how you tried different things. You are encouraging me. And the best thing was the end. I love your banding tool ! The best wishes for you and your family in 2023!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much , lovely to hear that!

[@dyspraxicrose3307]

It's really very pretty, especially with the bands of copper. A a decoupager, though, I would have cut the roses out and spread them over the whole table. Even though that is very fiddly it is still less work than all the stippling, [and I might have put the copper on the edges of the table top, too.] Thanks, I really enjoyed this project!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Love your idea! Many thanks. 😊💙🧡

[@serasmiles2]

the gilding looks fab... imagine what painterly could do if she had a Boho phase... but Iwas waiting for you to stipple into the stark white, somehow... nice to see you again....

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Lol, so true! Thanks, Sara.

[@sburwell75]

Such a unique beautiful piece...and yes, it is art!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much, Sharyle!

[@sarahmj3226]

My mother has the exact same table with a darker, almost black finish. Love the finished look of the legs with the metal accents!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yay, many thanks!

[@Shooshoobella7]

Happy New Year, Andy! I wasn't sure how this little table was going to turn out, but as usual, I trusted the process and your vision, and I was not disappointed. It's just so lovely and sweet! I love the blue roses and the copper leaf detail, so pretty. Looking forward to all your creative magic this year.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Happy new year! Yay, so glad you liked this one! Many thanks!!

Andy...this is such a beautiful piece. As always, you knocked it out of the park. I'm so excited to see that you can (or it's my first time seeing it) sign your creations. Looking forward to more of Season 5. Have a wonderful week. Hope to see you soon. Karen in North Carolina.

JUBA DANCE! Andy!!!❤ This is the first background music you’ve included that I can name! I recognized it immediately because I learned it on piano as a teen. 😊 Delighted to watch your very first furniture fable of 2023, I’d paint one of my bedrooms to match this piece; it is gorgeous!🎉

WWAD? (what will/would Andy do) I too will twirl my furniture! Seriously, I wasn't sure about the paper til the blending and blending...then, you gilded it with something I haven"t seen done on makeovers it is usually with wax but this technique looks richer especially with the black wax..LOVE your brander, great gift idea!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

YAY! Many thanks, Sandy!! I agree - the look is different from wax - I'm intrigued and would love to do more. So glad you liked that brander - I'm so excited for it!

I have that almost exact same table! Mine just doesn't have those extra vertical lines carved in the legs. I painted mine that almost exact shade of blue also, I stenciled a bow on the top of mine. I wasn't too sure about those roses at first, but I knew that you could make it look fabulous. I loved that extra step of the copper leafing also.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Oh wow, what a coincidence! So cool. Many thanks and so glad you liked the copper!

[@glorianelson9538]

Just perfect! As I was watching the process I kept thinking: Add some gold or silver leaf to the swirly parts Andy! I've done a lot of gold leafing over the years, and I always love the results. I had a very dark color gateleg table which I painted and did the same gold leafing on the legs. What a great gift from your parents. So good to have you back!!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thanks so much, Gloria!! And so glad we were on the same page with the leafing - soooo fun!!

[@marywallbridge9749]

Hi Andy wow you really exercised the creative artist in you I love this piece it's an incredible tranfermation I like the rice paper addition and the blue colour you created out of the champness and navy blues and I was actually intrigued when you once you started addj the the darker b,ue to the top but the result is beautiful i really love the paper on the legs as well but gotta say the gold leaf and both waxes perfected the table absolutely gorgeous, thanks for all your tips I'm definitely inspired to try something like this too,all the best always Mary in Australia 🌻😊 PS sorry I've been absent, but am back now and will be catching up 😘

Yay ,a new video for the new year! Now, you know I am not a fan of painting solid wood furniture, but of course, Andy can do now wrong in my book. And this piece is no exception. I absolutely love the design, your creativity knows no bounds. Then you brought out the copper (my personal favorite metal) and I was swooning! This cute little table gives me granny vibes. Like a sweet old grandmother who bakes cookies and sits by the fire doing needle work. So soft and sweet with a glint in her eye. Beautiful. I love the new brander with your logo! What a great gift. You could name it (I name my tools) Marlon Brand'o. 🤣

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yay, thanks so much!!

[@521Maxx]

Wow! I have missed you! So glad you are back! But I just have to admit, I thought you had fallen off the deep end with this one - paper flowers cut / torn into odd shapes then glued onto wooden furniture?! Then painted over - but not really. OH my! The end result - as usual - is stunning! But tell me - in the interest of long term use of this beautiful piece - how does it hold up to dust with all of the different textures - paint and wax and gilding - knowing how dust settles so nicely over time - do you have to dust daily? Or does the dust add to the piece? Do the waxed parts harden - or are they a bit sticky? I'm confused when it comes to that wax you are using.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Many thanks, Sandy! And that's ok - I totally get that! So as far as the use of the piece - it is painted with an all-in-one paint, which means the paint already has a topcoat/sealer in it. The areas that have the decoupage paper are sealed with a separate topcoat, so the top of the piece is like any other - absolutely fine to be dusted, or to have objects on top of it. As far as those gilded areas that are waxed - that will "dry" and harden to a matte, smooth finish (not sticky).

[@tarynkriebel319]

Could u do this with paint inlays?

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

I'm not sure I understand?

[@kathharper]

A tip for next time... the paper edges will blend in better (and probably mold into shape better on the curved areas) if they're actually torn instead of cut... creating a kind of "deckle edge" that will blend in better with this technique. Nicely done anyway!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Great tip, thanks so much!

[@murielbaith5445]

Should save the gold leaf scraps for another project.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Great idea!

[@cboyle707]

Good attempt. I don't like the heavy blue on top I would go back in and soften the edges again. It would make a world of difference and go better with the whimsy of the lower portion. My opinion and I'm sticking to it.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Ok, great feedback!

[@nanmalecki7087]

Beautiful! When you put the paper on I thought "0h no", but it turned out gorgeous.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yay, so glad you liked the paper!

[@nadjagonzalez1832]

I loved the gilding but the top …. Not so much. I couldn’t see what you saw. Still a good technique to learn
